The present invention relates to novel compounds useful as anaesthetics. More particularly, it relates to alkanoic acid anilides which are substituted in the 2- and 6- positions of the aniline ring, and are further substituted in the alkanoic acid portion by an'amino-alkylene radical joined to the alkanoic acid hydrocarbon chain by a hetero linking radical such as oxygen, sulfur, SO, S0 NH or substituted N.

This application is a continuation-in-part of my allowed copending US. aplication Serial Number 515,541, filed June 14, 1955, now forfeited.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to said alkanoic acid anilides which are substituted only in the 2-position of the aniline ring, the substitutions in the alkanoic acid portion being as aforesaid.

It has been found that valuable anaesthetic properties are possessed by anilides of the general formula wherein Ar represents an aryl radical substituted at least in the 2- and 6-positions by a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxy or a halogen radical, R and R each represents a straight or branched chain alkylene radical, R represents hydrogen, an aliphatic or araliphatic radical, X represents O-, S, SO, SO NH- or substituted -N, and Am represents a substituted or unsubstituted amino group.

In a broader sense, the present invention relates to anilides and acid addition salts of anilides of the type shown in Formula I wherein Ar represents an aryl radical substituted in the 2-position by a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or halogen radical, and substituted in the 6-position by hydrogen, a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or halogen radical; R and R each represents a straight or branched chain alkylene radical, R represents hydrogen, an aliphatic or araliphatic radical; X represents O--, S, SO, SO NH--, an N-lower alkyl, N-lower aralkyl, N-lower halogen-aralkyl or N-lower aroxyalkyl radical; and Am represents a substituted or unsubstituted amino group.

These compounds are especially suited for surface anaesthesia as well as for block anaesthesia. They are particularly characterized by the fact that increasing the concentration serves to increase the duration of the anaesthetic eifect to a considerable extent. Thus, some of the compounds at a concentration of 0.5% show a duration of anaesthesia of 0 minutes, at a concentration of 1% a duration of 50 minutes, and at a concentration of 2% a duration of more than 140 minutes.

A sub-group of special utility is designated by the general formula 6-positions by a radical selected from the group. consisting of the lower alkyl, lower alkoxy and halogen radicals, and Z is selected from the group consisting of alkylamino, dialkylamino and alkylene-irnino radicals.

A particularly significant sub-group ofcompounds of the type shown in Formula II may be considered wherein R and R have their former meaning; Y is a phenyl radical substituted in the 2-position by a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or halogen radical, and substituted in the 6- position by hydrogen, a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or halogen radical; X is an N-lower alkyl radical; and 'Z is an alkylamino, dialkylamino or alkylene-imino radical. These compounds are only slightly toxic and are quite eifective as anaesthetics when applied, for example, in minor surgery and in dentistry.

In this connection, another group of compounds which are distinguished by their strong anaesthetic action and extremely low toxicity, enabling them to be used effectively in major surgery, may be designated by Formula H wherein R and R have their former meaning; Y is a phenyl radical substituted only in the 2-position by a halogen radical; X is an N-lower alkyl radical; and Z is an alkylarnino, dialkylamino or alkylene-imino radical.

Another group of compounds specifically directed to an O- or S- hetero-linkage may be designated by Formula II wherein R and R have their former meaning; Y is a phenyl radical substituted in the 2-position by a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or'halogen radical, and substituted in the 6-position by hydrogen, a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or halogen radical; X is.O or S- ;;and Z is an alkyl amino, dialkylamino or alkylene-imino radical. Such compounds cause a medium local anaesthesia with little attendant toxicity which enables them to be used as infiltration anaesthetics. Moreover, these compounds may be used to combat pathogenic skin fungi such as the Trichophytons, for example, Trichophyton mentagropytes, T richophyton rubrum, etc. on which they have an inhibitive as well as lethal eifect. I

Furthermore, additional compounds which may be used as very strong block anaesthetics as well as strong surface anaesthetics may be designated by Formula II wherein R and R have their former meaning; Y is a phenyl radical substituted in the 2-position by a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or a halogen radical, and substituted in the 6 position by hydrogen, a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or halogen radical; X is an N-lower aralkyl, N-lower halo aralkyl or N-lower aroxyalkyl radical; and Z is an alkylamino, dialkylamino or alkylene-imino radical. Although more toxic than the above mentioned corresponding N alkyl hetero-linkage compounds these compounds have very strong anaesthetic action and maybe effectively used with safety in dentistry. l

The new compounds may especially be used in such cases where both fast action and long duration are desirable, as in major surgery, by combining them with a fast but not long lasting anaesthetic, e.g., pyrrolidino acetic acid-(2-chloro-6-methyl)anilide.

By way of comparison, the efficiencies and toxicitiesof the following compounds may be evaluated to illustrate the relative properties of the various groupsofcom-f pounds of the present invention.

I CH3 CIHA CI 2 s D NIH-C OCH: 'TCH2CH2-N\ 133! 34 27.8! CH3 C2 5 It is readily seen that compounds of the type symbolized by Formula D are especially distinguished by their low toxicity which enables them to be used more effectively in major surgery. These compounds are, for example, more than twice as efiicient as compounds of the type symbolized by Formulas A and C while almost twice as eflicient as compounds of the type symbolized by Formula B. It may be further noted that these compounds are approximately three times less toxic than compounds of the type symbolized by Formulas A, B and C.

The new anilides can for instance be produced by reacting compounds of the formula Ar-NH a (III) or their functional equivalents with acids of this formula HOOC-R X-R -Am (IV) or their functional equivalents according to the methods used for the formation of amides, the radicals having their aforementioned meanings.

Amines of the Formula III or their salts may therefore be reacted with acids of the Formula IV in the presence of water separating agents, such as phosphorus pentoxide, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentachloride, etc. It is furthermore possible under proper conditions to react the isocyanates or carbamic acid halides to be easily produced from the anilines, the phosphazo compounds, the phosphoric or arsenic acid anilides, etc., with acids of the Formula IV.

Instead of the free acids IV, there may also be used their functional derivatives, e.g., the acid halides, the esters, the anhydrides, the mixed anhydrides, etc., for the formation of the anilides. The process described hereinabove may also be changed so as to use instead of the acids of Formula IV, acids or their reactive functional derivatives, which contain a radical capable of being easily substituted by or converted into one of the desired basic groups.

Such a radical may for instance be a halogen atom or an analogous reacting radical, e.g., an alkyl or aryl sulphonyloxy radical. These can be replaced by an amino or substituted amino group through reaction with ammonia or amines, if necessary in the presence of basic condensation agents.

Such a radical can also be for instance a carbonyl group, which is transferred into an amino or substituted amino group with the aid of ammonia or amines and reduction agents.

In this manner, valuable anilides are obtained, when 2,6-dimethylaniline, 2,4,6-trimethylaniline, 2-chloro-6- methylaniline, 2-bromo-6-methylaniline, 2,6-dichloro-4- methylaniline, 2,6adimethoxyaniline are reacted with dimethylaminoethoxy acetic acid, dimethylaminoethoxy propionic acid, dimethylaminoethoxy butyric acid, or with the corresponding diethylamino-, dipropylamino-, dibutylamino-, pyrrolidino-, piperidino-, etc., -alkoxy compounds.

Instead of the disubstituted-amino alkoxy acids, monosubstituted-aminoalkoxy acids, such as monethylaminoethoxy acetic acid, monoethylaminopropoxy acetic acid, monobutylaminopropoxy acetic acid, etc., may also be used.

A further method of obtaining very eflective anilides is to join aminoalkylmercapto acids, aminoalkylsulphoxy acids, aminoalkylsulphonyl acids, or aminoalkylamino acids (instead of aminoalkoxy acids) with the aforementioned anilines, their isomers or homologs.

The aforementioned process for preparing an anilide by means of preformed acid and an aniline, can also be carried through gradually. There can thus be obtained, according to the methods described at the beginning, anilides of the formula which can be further reacted with compounds of the formula X -R -Am (VI) the symbols Ar, R R R and Am in both formulas having their aforementioned meanings, whereas one of the symbols X and X represents a reactive radical such as halogen, and the other represents one of the hetero atoms or hetero-groups having a hydrogen or other easily splittable functions, the radicals X and X interacting.

According to this process, there can for instance be produced a halo-alkanoic acid anilide which can then be reacted with an unsubstituted or substituted amino alcohol or an alkali salt of same. On the-other hand, there can also' be produced a hydroxy-alkanoic acid anilide, which can be further reacted with an aminoalkylhalide in the presence of basic condensation agents in onder to obtain compounds of the same type.

Analogous to the methods described for the ether acids, also the thioetheracid anilines can be synthesized stepwise by reacting for instance halo-alkanoic acid anilides with substituted or unsubstituted aminoalkanethiols or their salts, or by reacting mercaptoalkanoic acid anilides with aminoalkylhalides.

With the aid of mild oxidizing agents such as H 0 in glacial acetic acid, there may be obtained from the aminoalkylthio-alkanoic acid anilides the aminoalkylsulphoxy-alkanoic acid anilides, as well as the aminoalkylsulphonyhalkanoic acid anilides.

The aminoalkylsulphonyl-alkanoic acid anilides may also be obtained through the reaction of aminoalkylhalides on alkanoic acid anilides containing a sulphinic acid group, or by reacting halo-alkanoic acid anilides with aminoalkylsulphinic acids or their salts.

The aminoalkylamino-alkanoic acid anilides can finally also be obtained by reacting halo-alkanoic acids with alkylenediamines, or by reacting amino-alkanoic acid anilides with aminoalkylhalides.

Thus, substituted and unsubstituted aminoalkyl-N- substituted amino-alkanoic acid anilides can be synthesized by reacting for example halo-alkanoic acid anilides with substituted or unsubstituted aminoalkyl-N- substituted amines or their salts, or by reacting N-substituted aminoalkanoic acid anilides with substituted and unsubstituted aminoalkyl-halides. I

In the anilides of Formula I, one or two substituents may be introduced in the group Am, if the nitrogen thereof is unsubstituted or only singly substituted, by reacting the anilides with alkylating or aralkylating agents. As substituting agents there may be mentioned the reactive esters of alkanols, alkenols, alkinols and aralkanols, as will as the respective aldehydes or ketones used in conjunction with reducing agents.

Furthermore, if R in the formed anilides is hydrogen, it may be substituted by alkyl-, alkenylor aralkylradicals, by reacting the anilides with hydrohalogenesters or sulphuric acid esters of alkanols, alkenols or aralkanoles. The same substitution of hydrogen by alkyl radicals and such may take place in X, if X represents the NH group.

Accordingly, when X represents a substituted-N- hetero-linkage, such substituents on the nitrogen may include alkyl, aralkyl, haloaralkyl and aroxyalkyl radicals such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, octyl, benzyl, substituted benzyl such as chlorobenzyl, phenoxyethyl, etc.

As mentioned before, the group Am may also be quaternary, whereby the quaternary ammonium group may be dequaternized through heating in the presence or absence of a highboiling solvent; or, if one or more of the substituents are splittable by hydrogenation (benzyl groups or substituted-benzyl groups), the quaternary ammonium group may be transformed by catalytic hydrogenation into the tertiary or secondary amino group.

The anilides of the Formula I thus formed are preferably isolated in the form of their salts with inorganic or organic acids. As inorganic acids for the formation of salts there may be used sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid; as organic acids, acetic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, fumario acid, maleic acid, dioxymaleic acid, methanesulphuric acid, hydroxyethane sulphuric acid, etc.

Example 1 350 cc. diethylaminoethanol are heated to 50-60 C. and 7.6 g. sodium dissolved therein under agitation. To this solution are slowly added 66 g. chloroacetic acid- 2,6-dimethylanilide and the Whole heated during 8 hours to 150-160 C. The surplus diethylaminoethanol is then distilled off and the remainder precipitated outwith dilute hydrochloric acid. The insoluble parts are filtered out,

6 the filtrate is rendered alkaline, the separated oiltaken up in ether and the ether solution extracted with dilute hydrochloric acid. After filtration, the filtrate is again rendered alkaline, precipitated out with ether, and the ether dried and evaporated. The remaining oil is distilled under high vacuum. The yield is 23 g. of B-diethylarninoethoxy acetic acid-2,6-dimethylanilide, a dimly yellowy oil which boils under 0.05'mm. Hg at 142144 C. The hydrochloride of the basic anilide melts at 143- 146 C.

Example 2 The anilide defined in Example 1 can also be produced in the following manner: a

1 mole of B-chloroethoxy acetic acid chloride is reacted with 1 mole of 2,6-dimethylaniline in acetone in the 'presence of potash to yield B-ch-loroethoxy acetic acid-2,6-dimethylanilide. The fl-chloro-compound thus obtained is heated in the autoclave with 2 moles of diethylamine in benzene. After filtration of the diethylaminohydrochloride formed in the course of the reaction, the benzene solution is evaporated under vacuum and the remainder treated as defined in Example 1.

Example 3 55 g. chloro-acetic acid-(2-chloro-6-methyl)-anilide are heated during 24 hours to 150-160 C. with 250 cc. diethylaminoethanol containing 6 g. diluted sodium.

The separated oil is taken up in ether, the ether solution extracted several times with diluted hydrochloric acid and the hydrochloric solution rendered alkaline. The alkaline solution is extracted with ether, the ether dried and evaporated. Under high vacuum, the residue yields an oil which boils at 137 C. under a pressure of 0.04 mm. Hg.

Example 7 Example 8 20 g. mercapto-acetic acid-(2-chloro-6-methyl)-anilide are dissolved in 200 cc. ethanol containing 2 g. sodium, the entire solution heated and then evaporated until dry. 200 cc. benzene are added to the residue, and 13 g. [3- (diethylamino)-ethylchloride dissolved in 150 cc. benzene are then dropped into the suspension, which is heated during 3 hours to the boiling point and cooled. The fl-(diethylarnino) -ethyl-thio-acetic acid- (2-chloro-6-methyl)-anilide thus obtained is extracted from the benzene with dilute hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric solution is rendered alkaline and the separated oil taken up in ether, which is dried and evaporated.

Example 11 20 g. dimethylaminoethyl-acetic acid-2,6-dimethylanilide (boiling point 0.04 mm. Hg: 140l45 C.) are dissolved in 250 cc. glacial acetic acid and reacted under stirring and cooling with g. 30% hydrogen peroxide. The entire solution is stirred during 24 hours at C. and then left for a few days. It is then diluted with water and rendered alkaline. The separated oil is taken up in ether, the ether dried and carefully treated with an ethereal solution of hydrochloric acid. The separating amorphous mass is precipitated from absolute alcohol/ether. This yields the hydrochloride of diethylaminoethylsulphonyl acetic acid 2,6 dimethylanilide, which melts with decomposition at 2l0215 C.

Example 12 58 g. of chloro-acetic acid-(2-chloro-6-methyl)-anilide are heated for 6 hours at boiling in 300 cc. of dioxane with 38 g. of Z-diethyl-aminoethyl-methylamine and 35 g. of sodium carbonate. Then the formed sodium chloride is filtered off and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo. The residue which is a light yellow oil is dissolved in 2 N hydrochloric acid. The acid solution is treated with acetone. Upon chilling, the formed dihydrochloride of 8 the N-fi-diethylaminoethyl-N-methylamino-acetic acid-(2- chloro-6-methyl)-anilide is filtered by suction filtration and washed with acetone.

Then, the reaction mass is evaporated to dryness, the residue triturated with 2 N sodium hydroxide and extracted repeatedly with ether. After drying, the ethereal solution is evaporated and the residue distilled under high vacuum. Thus the 13(N-pyrrolidino)-propylamino-acetic acid-(2-chloro-6-methyl)-anilide is obtained in a yield of 65%, which boils under 0.05 mm. Hg at 15916l C.

Example 15 27.5 g. of chloro-acetic acid-(2-chloro-6-methyl)-anilide are heated with 28 g. of ,B-diethylaminoethylbenzylamine in 200 cc. of n-propanol in the presence of 19 g. of anhydrous sodium carbonate for 6 hours with stirring on a water bath. The solvent is then distilled off, the residue is dissolved in 2 N hydrochloric acid, the solution filtered and made alkaline. The formed anilide precipitates as an oil which is taken up in ether. The ethereal solution is then dried over potassium carbonate and evaporated. The residue, distilled under high vacuum, yields 44 g. (i.e. 76% of the theoretical) of N-fl-diethylaminoethyl-N-benzylamino-acetic acid-(2-chl0ro-6-methyl)-anilide. The anilide thus obtained represents a colorless, acid-soluble oil, which boils under 0.06 mm. Hg at 213 C. and upon standing solidifies to coarse crystals. The dihydrochloride of the anilide in a 2% aqueous solution has a pH of 6.5.

The oil which precipitates is taken up in ether, the ethereal solution extracted with 2 N hydrochloric acid and the acid solution again made alkaline. The alkaline solution is extracted twice with ether and the combined ether extracts are dried and evaporated. The residue crystallizes upon standing to colorless crystals which melt at 118.5-120.5 C. Thus 19 g. of the N-fl-pyrrolidinoethy1-N-4'-chlorobenzyl-amino-acetic acid-(2,6-dimethyl)-anilide are obtained. The dihydrochloride of the new anilide, which is readily soluble in water, melts at 188.5190 C.

N-dimethylaminoethyl-N-methylamino-acetic acid-(2- chloro)-anilide, M.P. of the dihydrochloride: 185-187 C Example 3] By reacting chloro-acetic acid-4-ethoxy-anilide with B- diethylaminoethylbenzylamine in ethanol in the presence of potassium carbonate, there is obtained the fl-N-diethylaminoethyl-N-benzylamino-acetic acid-4-ethoxy-anilide. This forms colorless crystals, which melt at 49 50 C. and are easily soluble in 0.5 N hydrochloric acid and in boiling petroleum ether.

In analogous manner as in the aforegoing examples there can be produced:

fi-N-diethylaminoethyl-N-ethylamino-acetic acid-2,4,6- trichloro-anilide, B.P. 0.03 mm. Hg: 167 C.

p-N-diethylaminoethyl-N-benzylamino-acetic acid-2,4, 6-trichloro-anilide, B.P. 0.01 mm. Hg: ISO-153 C.

By reacting thio-acetic acid-2,4,6-trichloro-anilide with fl-diethylaminoethyl-chloride, B-pyrrolidinoethyl-chloride, B piperidinoethylchloride, 'y dimethylaminopropylchloride, 'y-diethylaminopropylchloride or 'y-pyrrolidinopropylchloride and 'y-piperidinopropylchloride respectively, there are obtained the fungistatically and fungicidally strongly effective ,B-tertaminoethyland 'y-tertaminopropylmercapto-acetic acid-2,4,6-trichloroanilides. Instead of the thio-acetic acid-2,4,6-trichloro-anilides, it is also possible to react the thio-acetic acid-2,4,6-tribromo-anilide with the above mentioned tert.aminoalkylhalogenides; there are obtained approximately equally effective compounds, which, however, due to the higher price of the 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, offer no advantages over the 2,4,6- trichloroanilides.

The above mentioned aminoalkyl-mercapto-acetic acid 2,4,6-trichloroand -tribromo-am'lides respectively can also easily be obtained from the chloro-acetic acid-2,4,6- trichloroanilide and the chloro-acetic acid-2,4,6-tribromoanilide respectively and the respective tert.aminoalkylthiols. Instead of the tert.aminoalkyl-thiols, there can also be used sec.aminoalky1-thiols, such as for instance fl-methylaminoethyLthiol, fl-ethylaminoethyl-thiol, B-nbutylaminoethyl-thiol, -ethylaminopropyl-thiol, n-butylaminopropyl-thiol, and others. a
